Handyman

Q: I am a handyman carpenter/the main services I offer include home repair inside and out/home improvement projects that result in modernization or efficiency inside and out/any and all minor fixes to every room of your home - Handyman, home repairs and remodeling, painting, flooring, fencing and landscaping?

A: Starting a Handyman Business

If you do just a few jobs per year, you just need a business license.

However, if you are a business handyman, you may also need a seller's permit to buy the construction materials wholesale, i.e., without paying taxes on the purchases.

In addition, if you will use a trade name to go by… for example, “Fix it Handyman Services,” you will need to register a fictitious business name certificate.

You can obtain all of the above here online on this site.

Handyman licenses: To avoid doing the legal research, simply search on this site or finish reading this short article to find out what is required to be a legal handyman business.

First, you will need at least a handyman business license.

Some states may require you to have a contractor’s or subcontractor’s state license to provide handyman services but that is the minority of the states.

In the state of Utah, as well as in other states, a contractor’s license is not required for a handyman business that performs tasks not more than $1,000.00.

If you want bigger jobs, you may have to take contractor’s license test that requires a proficiency exam to determine the construction related skills applied in your handyman projects.

If you do any type of plumbing and or electrical work, you may need to have a certificate from a school in order to be qualified.

Some states like California require you to take a proficiency test after packing 4 or 5 years of experience in construction at the level of journeyman or foreman.

To apply for a contractor’s license, you will need an ID, and perhaps, depending on the state or county you will operate fingerprints.

However, the most important thing in starting a handyman business for doing small jobs is getting a business license and perhaps a seller’s permit.

A seller’s permit certificate will allow you to buy your construction materials wholesale. So for example, you buy 10 bugs of concrete from Home depot.

The price will be about $100 plus taxes and you will have to pay about $108.

However, after becoming a handyman contractor and you sign up as such, you will be able to buy wholesale and save about $20 which is about 20% of your purchase.

Apply here online and that will start the process.

More about handyman business

Once you have some clients lined up to do some handyman work, then, obtain your handyman business license and you are ready to do business, though note that you can get a license even before you start any business.

Note also that you do not need a bond unless you do any major structural work.

If you hire handyman employees, you will need two EINs Employer ID Numbers: One Federal Tax iD Number and one State Employer Tax ID Number.

Also, keep in mind that if you get busy, you will need a lot materials.

For example, someone hires you do do plumbing work or construction repair, keep in mind, you will need to buy the materials and pay tax.

If so, you can obtain a handyman sellers permit to buy these tax free, i.e., without paying taxes since you will buy wholesale.

Finally, if you will name the business with a business name such as Best Handyman

Company, or something similar, you will need to register the name with a DBA Doing Business As AKA assumed or fictitious business name certificate.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the handyman / construction industry is one of the largest businesses in the United States.

If you are a handyman that does minor repairs to toilets, A/C units, replacng switches, organizing or cleaning our garages, basic home repairs such as handyman services to repair dry wall, paint, replace molding, replace existing electric switches, outlets, hang lighting, fans with electric boxes in place with electric lines in place, replace broken doors or doors that wont close or window repairs, replace broken or rotten siding repair, work mobile door to door, home based.

Also, handywork such as fixing leaky toilets facets shower heads, caulk,repair, sand, paint most any surface, and fix broken deck boards and railings, small pluming repairs such as leaking toilets,facets, shower heads, caulk and repair, sand and paint most any surface .

It employs 1.8 million self-employed and unpaid family workers.

It does not always concern heavy construction work because 64 percent of these construction handyman jobs fall in the specialty trade contractors sector, including plumbing, heating and air conditioning, electrical, and masonry.

Despite the hard economic times, the construction industry (in all its forms including handyman work) still offers more business opportunities than many other industries.

Of course, it takes much more than handyman skills to become a skilled construction professional handyman and business owner.

To get into the handyman business, first consider making your business legal is the right way to do it.

When have all the licenses and tax registrations required, you will have the time and peace of mind required to provide an exceptional handyman service, which is required to obtain clients by word of mouth.

Handyman or handy man work is perhaps hard work, however, it is also technical since you need to know a lot of different skills to be one.

Then, you need to find some way to get client by using some advertising.

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID.
However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a
business tax ID number. However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting
a federal tax ID number.

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Atlanta, Incorporate in GA or form a(n) GA LLC
If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under.
Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.

If you do form an handyman llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your handyman business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Atlanta business name.
Instead of filing a Cobb County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in
GA or form an GA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

You can start your ATLANTA business with just $54512 or $517576 that depends on your budget. Starting your business in
ATL DEKALBATLANTA, 30329 calls for some numbers: it has about 27872
residents, though only about 12282 families in this zip code area of the state of Georgia.
In addition, consider getting a(n) 404/678/77 telephone area code to increase reachability and
and identifiability. Nevertheless, you will need a place to set up your business
and a place to stay or you can also buy a house (about $216300 avergage value) , which
you can use as a home based business as well. Your physical address in ATLANTA will be
your business address. For Instance, your business address could be 51019 ATLANTA Hwy/Blvd or 55TH Street/Ave or
ATLANTA, Georgia 30329. You can use a 30329 P.O. Box address as your as
your business mailing address. E.g. P.O Box
30429
ATLANTA,Georgia 30329 .

starting any type of business. Briefly, there are about 17576, caucasians,
6812 latinos, and 4512 African Americans in the 30329 zipcode area. Another consideration
is targeting your prospects income level to advertise for your new business. Each family here makes

A: If you want more business credibility in the business market, you may want to form an LLC instead of a DBA. For example, if your trade name is.
deas XYZtch , Inc.Co.
requires a fictitious business name registration, which also requires a fee to be registered.

Registering a fictitious business name does not protect that name nor does it protect the business owner from personal liability related to business actions as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) does.
Our recommendation that since you need to pay a fee to register the business name, simply form a limited liability company (LLC) for a similar fee and get both corporate status and protection for the name as well as personal liabilities.

So, for instance, if someone slips and falls in your business premises, they can sue you personally if you are not a limited liability company (LLC).

Also, consider the prestige that a limited liability company (LLC) affords. Is a name like John's Transmissiona shop better than AEMCOO TRANS, LLC?

Q: I am just one person. Do I Need an LLC?A: Even if you are just one person owner, you can form an LLC (Limited Liabiliity Company).

Q: Do I need an EIN for my LLC? A: Yes, you will need an EIN for your LLC to do your LLC taxes and open an LLC bank account.

Q: Do I need to file a DBA if I form an LLC? A: If you form an LLC and you do business as the LLC name, you don't need a DBA. For example, your LLC name is "Ultra Super LLC," and your business name is "Ultra Super LLC," you don't need to file a DBA.

Q: If I set up an LLC, will the LLC help me protect my business LLC from creditors? A: Yes, actually, only an LLC can help you protect the LLC from its creditors especially if you have another partner member owner in that LLC.

Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?A:

Q: How do I build credit under my LLC business? A: Start by applying for a line of credit for your LLC from your bank if you already have some personal credit.
